UPDATED Number 1 on iTunes? Surprise! Kygo’s Remix of Tina Turner’s 1984 Classic “What’s Love Got to Do with It”

Share

UPDATE WEDS JULY 22 11:33am: “What’s Love Got to Do with It” hung on for quite a bit at number 1. It’s number 2 this morning. But it’s all sales– about 25,000 so far, a third of it from streaming. If radio stations pick it up, then it will really stick.

JULY 21
Go figure.

Kygo’s remix of Tina Turner’s 1984 classic hit, “What’s Love Got to Do With It” is number 1 on iTunes.

On Friday and Saturday the total including streaming came to 14,000 copies. For the same period, DJ Khaled’s “Popstar” sold 40,000.

This means that on Sunday and Monday, the Kygo/Tina track zoomed. We’ll see the numbers for Sunday later on today.

I’m shocked. But everyone loves Tina. And Kygo showed last summer that he had the golden touch with Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love.”

Will this last? Will Kygo and Tina make it through the week? We’ll see. But nothing lasts anymore. We take it as it comes!

Hey, maybe it’s the steamy video they shot for the new version:
